Welcome, 2012! We said goodbye to 2011 (it was a great year, but it was time), and we rang in 2012. With champagne in one hand, a streamer in the other and smooch on the lips, there really is not better way to kick off a new year. Oh, except for resolutions.

Join us in celebrating Christmas in the best way of all: giving. Our courier services Dallas team is running a canned food drive to benefit Our Calling, a ministry in Dallas that supports those who are homeless an in need. We can’t do it without the help of you, our loyal clients! The task is simple: collect canned goods at your office, and when our DFW couriers come by to make a delivery, we will take the canned goods. Then, just before Christmas, we will drop them off at Our Calling. In the spirit of Christmas, here is a story to remind us all of the importance of putting others first this Christmas season.

Call me a dork, but I always loved going to school.

Ever heard of James Joyce? Sheesh! People just don’t read good literature anymore. If you know who Joyce is, then please disregard the previous comment. If you don’t know who he is, then you need to read more! No offense.
